Sometimes in life, we are stuck in spite of having tried everything to move forward. When that happens, try one of these:
1. Go to a therapist. There is no shame in needing some help with quite possible the most important, long-term aspect of your overall health, your mental health. If you have a persistent issue, memory or are stuck-stuck-stuck, find a good therapist and get to work.
2. De-clutter your life. Hire a professional commercial and/or residential organizer or give your family the heads-up that it is time to de-clutter and get to it. Clean your desk, your files, your car, your garage, the basement, etc. Yes, it will be much harder than you think, and once you are in, you are in, but it will change your life instantly, as soon as it’s done.
3. Read one self-help book. Pick one in the category of the most pressing need in your life (e.g. relationship, nutrition, health, depression, career, etc.) and read the reviews or get recommendations from people you trust. Then, set an alarm for an hour a day and read it, or clear your schedule Saturday. You need your reading time because bedtime is not going to work for this type of book.
4. Hire a coach or trainer or expert. I am not just saying this because I am a coach. We all need help from time to time. When I was struggling with my business I hired a business coach. It works!
5. Forgive someone. You know the thing…the thing that does not deserve your forgiveness. Yep, that’s the one. It sounds trite, but it’s true that forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. If you need help with this item, see #1 – 4.
